if you look at president obama's budget, it's not even a serious document. one of the most depressing meetings i had recently is sitting down with a presidential historian in the senate dining room three weeks ago and if you look back at history, the big issues of our nation have only been solved through presidential leadership, and to sit there at that time and realize there's a 50/50 chance that we could have four more years without any presidential leadership, on the biggest issue our nation faces, that is depressing, and what paul ryan and mitt romney now laying out a clear choice, so that we know we have two people that are serious about solving the biggest issue that our nation has, that is something that creates optimism, and i think they're going to win. i am more excited about this race than i have ever been. >> senator, you look over in europe and see parties that run on austerity, taking things away from people, taking, less government involvement in their lives, and the record's not really that great in terms of what people finally decide to do,
